Homesick?

Came to India for a 3 week vacation. This is the last week. Somehow I don't know how quickly the time went by... was just wondering if somehow one could get hold of a pause/fast-fwd button... that simply give us the choice of pressing any as the time warrants as the clock ticks...

Well, many things have happened since the last time I posted on my blog... important among the ones - became a dad, relocated to Germany. Both have given me immense pleasure - maybe I will share more during some future blog post. Not now though..

After traveling to different countries I was thinking that maybe I do not fall under the category that is usually susceptible to an oft used term - 'home-sickness'. Maybe, I thought that its more an academic term than one which can be experienced. Somehow I must admit that I did miss being away from home - its maybe the traffic.. maybe the people.. maybe the mundane-ness.. maybe this maybe that.. I was just wondering today when I met Rajesh (a close relative of mine) and we started discussing things about Europe and everything un-Indian about it.

I think, I feel the best when I can seamlessly merge with people around me. Maybe being an Indian outside India doesn't provide that luxury. Well, that could just be it...

Anyways.. back to Germany this weekend. Back to work. But.., it just feels nice to be writing again after a long time. Maybe I should write more often!

Ciao till next time...Harsha
